Candle Making Recipes & Instructions

Balloon

Paraffin or Candle wax

Optional candle dye

Take a balloon and fill it with water and secure the top ...Melt down your paraffin or candle wax then allow it to cool as much as you can before it begins to set .

Next dip your water filled balloon into the melted wax and pull it out. allow this thin layer to harden . then re-submerge the balloon again keep doing this till you have a thick layer
around 1 cm .

Now pop the balloon and remove it from the candle shell . using the same low temperature pour a small amount of wax into the candle shell and roll it around till it covers the edges and once again allow it to cool . You may want to make these inner layers a different color for a rainbow effect .

Keep repeating the last step (using different colors if desired for each layer) Until the candle is just about full , then in the last pour slip the wick into the center and again pour the last layer of wax in until the wick is held firm .

Using a flat hot plate melt a flat bottom onto the candle to help the rounded bottom sit straight on a table
